Most of the trails in the Pequop Mountain are thin single track trail that is barley noticeable. Sticks and rock carins have been set up by other riders to help recreationalists identify where the trail goes. Several dirt roads allow for easy access to the trails and several pull outs have been burned in by recreationalists. If you plan to hike to the peak, expect a 1,500 ft. elevation gain in only a short distance. Camping at the Pequop mountain is roadside only, please use existing campsites and pull out areas.
While riding along the trails you will feel a sense of seclusion as you weave through pinyon pine, juniper trees and tall sage brush. The trails are fast and flowy with a mix of climbing to get you to the peak. Several other social trails have been burned in making this area the perfect place to spend an afternoon riding or hiking. Several mountain bike races have been held here by the local biking club so expect some fun rides with beautiful views!
Trails are not officially signed but sticks and rock carins mark where the trail is. There is no water or informational kiosk. Be prepared and always pack extra water and a map. In the fall, this area is used by hunters.
Dispersed camping and parking is available on the various dirt roads around the area. Please be respectful and park off of the road to make room for other cars.
The trails are surrounded by farms, cows may be on the trails or nearby.
Contact the local bike club, Elko Velo Cycling club, for events and scheduled group rides.
